Summary
American flags honoring fallen hero Lance Corporal William Joseph Donovan Jr. were ripped off a Massachusetts bridge again—this time completely destroyed—just days after a similar act of vandalism. Donovan, a two-time Purple Heart recipient who died at 27 in a motorcycle accident, is memorialized on the bridge, rededicated last fall after the prior attack. State Rep. Steve Xiarhos is pushing to reinstall the flags before July 4th, while police urge witnesses to come forward. This isn’t just vandalism—it’s a direct insult to sacrifice and community memory.
